Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Raymondville, MO.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Raymondville with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
